Intel 536EP modem driver for SuSe 10?
by Bruce Duncan 01 Apr '06

Hi. The subject says it all. I've installed SuSe 10, and it doesn't seem to come with a driver for my modem & all I can find online are drivers for earlier versions. Will any of those work? Is there a current one? Thanks, Bruce Duncan hatter(a)calweb.com

[OT] Linux-based phone
by rich3800 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

Since SuSE is based in Berlin, Germany. I thought that some users on the SLE list would be German. Anybody from Berlin on the list? I would like to get the US price of a Linux-based cellular GSM phone that a Berlin company called ROAD makes. The phones are the S101/S101K. I forgot what the "K" stands for. Maybe encrypted, I'm not sure. I would like to get one of them. The URL is: http://www.road-gmbh.de/en/produkte/index_02.html Rich

Laptop recommendation
by Jerry Feldman 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

I gave my old Compaq Presario laptop to my wife, and I need a new laptop to use for my teaching (I teach Unix, Linux, C, and C++ at a local university) as well as for BLU meetings. My presonal requirements are: Brand: must be HP (or HP/Compaq) OS: SuSE Linux 10.0 or possibly VMWare with SuSE running as the primary OS. Chip: AMD-64 (While I work directly with some Intel people, I want 64-bits on the laptop). Screen size: I prefer 15in or better, but 14in would be ok. Memory - would prefer 1 or 2 GB because I want to be able to run a couple of different distros simultaneously for the courses. I've looked at the following models: L2000, DV8110US, DV5120 and dv5140. I've found Linux reviews of the L2000, but not the DV8* or DV5* models, though the DV8110US from eCost seems to have some very good features. I'm not concerned about installing ndiswrapper for the Broadcom wireless. Many of the HP Compaq n series business notebooks are officially certified by SuSE, but those notebooks tend to be more expensive, but there are a bunch that are available refurbished or excess new. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf(a)blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

Good idea! http://susewiki.org/index.php?title=MythTV_on_SuSE_9.3_with_PVR_350 ...done!

Just curious - what type of music are you referring to? Are you playinga CD or some digital form - MP3/AAC/OOG? In either case, you want to make sure your mixer (kmix) is set to play those files. I noticed when I setup my laptop in October that the CD channel was muted at first. Don't have a clue why. Can't help with the second question. There's plenty of games on Linux to waste my time. :) Currently enjoying Wesnoth. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com || www.livebeans.com linux - genuine windows replacement part

Just picked this up on the news feed from zdnet news, it was posted yesterday morning http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/linuxunix/0,39020390,39260592,00.htm "Novell loses more Linux executives" Amnon Harman, chief operating officer of Novell's SuSE Linux group (sic), will leave the company in August... Harman is not the only member of the SuSE old guard to depart. Juergen Geck, cto of Linux leaves this Friday and cofounder Huber Mantel left in Novelmber. Also mentioned were the appointments of Jeffrey Jaffe and Ron Hovsepian. -- "I got to go figure," the tenant said. "We all got to figure. There's some way to stop this.

eth1 vs. eth2
by Jason Gerfen 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

I am encountering something kinda odd and thought perhaps someone on this list could assist me. The problem is in the static IP assigned to an add-in card keeps flip flopping on restarts to either eth1 or eth2. I am running SuSE 9.3 fully patched. Thanks. -- Jason Gerfen "You will never be ready for me." ~ Me
